To the Editor:
When I met Karen Fortunati, she was my representative on the Board of Aldermen. The first thing I noticed about her was that she was passionately dedicated to her work representing the Fifth District. Whether she was spearheading a tax reduction for families of fallen first responders, creating an initiative to help increase recycling efforts in the city or coordinating with the Milford Police Department to address traffic and safety concerns, Fortunati worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone who reached out to her got the assistance or answer that they needed.
When Fortunati became city clerk in 2019, she brought that same level of commitment and passion to her new role and has transformed the City Clerk’s Office into an efficient and effective hub of city services. She performs her job in a manner that transcends politics – she works in a collaborative and bipartisan manner and holds herself to the highest standards of integrity, transparency and accountability.
As our city clerk, I have the privilege of working with Fortunati on a daily basis and not only is she an invaluable member of the City Hall team, I’m proud to call her a friend.
I strongly support her reelection as our city clerk and hope that Milford residents will join me in voting for Karen Fortunati for city clerk on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.
